A NOTE ON MATCH %:
Okcupid doesn't encourage you to answer a number of match questions for no reason. These percentages arise from mathematical algorithms developed by Harvard grads working for Okcupid.  And from my experience, these questions do an AMAZING job at predicting who you are most compatible with, and put this site above POF anyday. I caution you that some people may not have answered enough questions to give you a satisfactory rating, so keep that in mind. However, if both you and the person you are messaging have answered a significant number of questions and your match percentage is LOW--why are you messaging them? Often, I get messages from people with match percentages so low I don't even know how they found me. I find myself thinking "WHY would you even bother?" A low match percentage indicates low compatibility on topics that serve as the foundation for successful relationships. If you can't agree on the simple things, how do you think you would do when faced with a real challenge? A word for the wise- trust your match percentage, and let it guide you toward the right people.
